HELP! Need some Breastroke Workout's for Meet preparation!!!

Swimalison
Hi all! I'm brand new here however a life long competitive swimmer (Florida ..High school and college) and now a Master's swimmer at 36 years ....young. I currently swim UNAT as there are no teams at all where I live. I am trying to start a team at the YMCA where I belong...looks promising. In the mean time I swim with a friend or on my own but need help with w workout schedule. I signed up for the UMD swim meet this August and plan to swim the 50 and 200 *** on day 1. Probably that will be it ...since it's my first meet in a long time. Can anyone please suggest a good workout plan from now until August 23rd, 2008 geared towards Breastroke????? THANK you..... Even a website link that has workout's would be appreciated! THANKS all! So excited I found this discussion board!!!

  • If you want to race breaststroke, you need to swim a good amount of breaststorke. You mentioned that you will be doing the 50 and 200. Training for these two events is different. Do you have any preference as to which you really want to train for or would you just like to do a bit of training for both? Since it's a 2 day meet and I can't really come back the second day and my chances of doing well in the breaststroke events is most promising...I'd like to train for both!!! But more so the 200...Not really worried about the 50... THANKS!! I have heard different theories though. Some say not to do too much breaststroke or you will really pull some muscles in your legs (not sure where).....Not sure how much breaststroke to be swimming while training.... I did find a local YMCA swim team coach who says he can help me with my breaststroke so that is exciting!! THANKS again!
